About me

Living in beautiful leafy suburbia, Kat does nothing but cycle through the picturesque scenery on a Miss Marple bike, bitterly cursing all the picturesqueness, and read as many books as the day (and the bike basket) can hold.
She enjoys crime, pastiche and postmodernism, and anything pretending to be something it’s not.
If she could live in a book, it would be Neverwhere, by Neil Gaiman.

Just a thought. (more)
